Aaron's Estate Sales opens Block Auction House in Detroit

Tuesday, December 5, 2017

Aaron’s Estate Sales, a Birmingham-based estate sale and auction company, has opened Block Auction House in Detroit.

“We are very excited to premiere Block Auction House in Detroit. There is pent-up demand for a new auction house and this is a natural extension for us based on the success we have seen from our estate sales here in southeastern Michigan,” Aaron Siepierski, owner, Aaron’s Estate Sales, said in a press release.

Block Auction House is currently located in Bamboo Detroit, (shared office space at 1420 Washington Blvd.) until Siepierski finds a permanent location in Detroit.

There will be an auction, 7 p.m. Dec. 15, at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center, 495 Gilmour Mall, Wayne State University, featuring 200-300 mid-20th Century consigned furnishings, art and objects. Earlier in the day, an auction preview will be held at 11 a.m. and a reception, from 5-7 p.m.

Aaron’s Estate Sales recently completed a sale and auction at the Motown Mansion, formerly owned by Motown Records Founder, Berry Gordy, which included hundreds of items, including a 1930’s Steinway baby grand piano played by Smokey Robinson and other Motown stars, according to the release.
